Your competitors could easily hire a corporate spy to exploit this security gap. For a total cost of a few thousand dollars, a spy can steal millions of dollars worth of your business secrets using technical surveillance. To do so, the spy uses a variety of tools including bugs, hidden transmitters, concealed cameras, GPS trackers and telephone taps. These devices can easily be hidden in offices, homes, cars and elsewhere. To counter this growing threat, a truly complete security program must incorporate routine inspections using Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM). BGIs Consultant is one of the oldest and leading providers of TSCM services in the Country.BGI realizes that espionage is not resolved by the waving of a wand, but through due diligence the mitigation of the threats can be achieved. The suggested remedy for this solution would be the proposed Statement of Work along with follow-up assessments every 6 months unless other concerns are identified. The BGI TSCM Team offers superior value, service, and functionality. By having strong security measures in place, those who might have thought about doing something unethical will think twice. This is like having an ADT sign in your front yard.Our TSCM Team has invested millions of dollars in their equipment, which is far more sophisticated than the technology used in most situations. This allows the Team to better fulfill their obligations in a timely manner. This affects the Bottom-Line of the client.The BGI TSCM Team has been in business since 1971 providing these services internationally. These members have successfully pass background investigation requirements and have supported our Federal Government and the INTEL Community. We also provide offerings that cover Security analysis/protection/training; Dark Fiber needs; Underground Hot-Site Bunkers; and emergency fuel. This includes Bulk Supplies of D 2 (Diesel), JP 54 (Jet Fuels) and Gasoline. Our Team Member has enough to support military operations, emergency response management or an airline, but who does our community feel would be the most idea to contact There are no smoke and mirrors in the cost, because it is the Daily Market Rate and we go strictly by that. After being at DHS and experiencing Hurricane Katrina and Rita, I know how frustrating it is to have generators in a hospital working fine and securing the safety of life, until the fuel start running low and panic sites in. We want people to know that we are here to help, but need the communitys assistance. I can be reached at Sincere Thanks, E.
